Rangers Bang Out 8-4 Win Versus Toronto
The Texas Rangers beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-4, at Rogers Centre. The Rangers got a fine performance from second baseman Cesar Hernandez, who captured player of the game honors. He went 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Texas, now 20-8, has gotten their season off to a good start.

Hernandez contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Texas in the top of the third. With his team trailing 1-0, Hernandez took a slider from Michael Fulmer and stroked the home run to right. His 1st home run of the season allowed the Rangers to leap in front, 2-1.

"We'll pop the top on a cold one and get back to work tomorrow," Hernandez said.
